O, The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
Words: Samuel Trevor
Francis, 1875.
Music: “Ebenezer,” Thomas John Williams
O the deep, deep love
of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward
To Thy glorious rest above!
O the deep, deep love
of Jesus
Spread His praise from shore to shore
How he loveth, ever loveth
Changeth never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones
Died to call them all His own
How for them doth intercedeth
Watcheth o’er them from the throne
O the deep, deep love
of Jesus
Love of every love the best
’Tis an ocean full of blessing
’Tis a haven giving rest
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
’Tis a heaven of heavens to me
And it lifts me up to glory
For it lifts me up to Thee
